An orientation for new students at Cal State San Bernardino was postponed Monday and today after an employee was confirmed to have H1N1 Influenza A, known as swine flu.

The orientation will be rescheduled for later in the summer, said Sid Robinson, a spokesman for the university.

“This was one of a series of events,” he said.

Meanwhile, classes continue for 5,324 students enrolled in summer school. The first six-week period of summer classes ends this week, Robinson said.

The employee, who has not been identified, is isolated at home and being treated there.

CSUSB is the fifth California State University campus to have reported a case of the swine flu.

People working or taking classes at the university during the summer have been advised of steps to take to protect their health and to contact a medical professional if they feel ill or show flu symptoms.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the symptoms, effects and treatment of swine flu are no different than those of seasonal flu.

Symptoms range from undetectable to include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people infected with this virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting.

Last week the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that it has approved a vaccine for the seasonal flu in 2009-10, but continues to work with manufacturers and others to develop a safe and effective vaccine against the swine flu virus.
